My Take
I have a soft spot for footballers who climb rather than coast, and Demba Ba is exactly that. From Rouen to Hoffenheim to the Premier League with West Ham, his path was earned step by step rather than handed to him. At 189 cm he was a genuine target man, but what interests me more is the mindset that kept him relevant. Becoming chairman of a San Diego club after retirement tells me his competitive instinct never cooled. I respect athletes who treat the final whistle as a transition, not an ending, and Ba clearly belongs in that category.
